Public Health England (PHE) has issued a sunburn warning after hundreds of people were treated as the heatwave continues.

The hot weather is expected to last throughout the school summer holidays and people have been urged to 'use common sense' under the sun.

Over the past couple months, over two hundred people have been hospitalised due to sun related incidents and PHE have issued a reminder ahead of the hottest day of the year.

Sunburn is easy to avoid if you take the right precautions

John O'Hagan, PHE's professor, has said: "Our advice is to think about what you’re doing in the sun and use some common sense - know the limits of your own skin, don’t stay out in strong sunshine for too long, wear wraparound sunglasses, wear a hat, cover up with light clothing and if you need to, seek shade during the hottest parts of the day and use sunscreen that’s at least factor 15, which also has good UV-A protection."
